Summary
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is clarify with requirements put on fire
protection of structures from the point of view of territorial planning,
construction and materials. The course makes the student familiar with passive
and also active elements of fire safety in structures. The knowledges can be apply with students in working experience.
